The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated its guidance on masking, recommending that people wear masks in indoor public settings in areas with high transmission of COVID-19. The CDC also recommends that people wear masks in healthcare settings, regardless of transmission levels.
President Biden's decision to follow the CDC's guidance is consistent with the advice of public health experts. However, it is understandable that some people may be frustrated or angry about the decision, especially after so many months of living with mask mandates.
Here are some of the reactions from people online:
- "This is nonsense fearmongering. The pandemic is over."
- "This is a step backward. We should be moving on, not regressing."
- "This is an infringement on my personal freedom. I should be free to choose whether or not to wear a mask."
- "This is political theater. Biden is trying to distract from other problems facing the country."
It is important to note that not everyone is opposed to President Biden's decision. Some people have welcomed the decision, saying that it is necessary to protect public health. However, the backlash against the decision is significant and it is likely to continue.
Here are some of the memes and tweets that were shared online:
- A meme of President Biden wearing a mask with the caption "The new normal."
- A tweet that said "Biden is going to make us wear masks again? This is ridiculous!"
- A meme of a person wearing a mask with the caption "I'm not afraid of COVID-19, I'm afraid of Biden."
- A tweet that said "I'm going to start wearing a mask with Biden's face on it so I can breathe freely."
- A meme of a person wearing a gas mask with the caption "Me getting ready to go to the grocery store after Biden's announcement."

The CDC's guidance is just that - guidance. It is not a mandate, and it is up to each individual to decide whether or not to follow it. However, the CDC believes that wearing a mask is an important way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
The decision of whether or not to wear a mask is a personal one. However, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of the decision before making a decision. If you are in an indoor setting where there are other people, it is a good idea to wear a mask, regardless of whether or not it is required.
It is also important to remember that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over. The virus is still circulating, and it can still cause serious illness, hospitalization, and death. By taking steps to protect yourself and others, you can help to slow the spread of the virus and keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
